Latest NetworkManager update on Fedora 9 stops the freeze on Macbook Pro
My existing issue with NetworkManager on Fedora 9 running on my Macbook Pro seems to have gone away with the latest update.
[ansilva@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa --last | grep Network

Glad it's working now, even though blame was quickly shifted towards ndiswrapper, which I haven't changed. :-)

Quick shell access with 'tilda'
This is pretty neat. Tilda is a little application that let's you access a terminal on your desktop like Quake games. You hit a key, and the shell slides on your desktop, hit it again, and it goes away. On Fedora just do:
Run it as a regular user for configuration.
Here is a screenshot of my setup.
yum install tilda
Run it as a regular user for configuration.

Getting Macbook Pro (4,1) Penryn touchpad to work on Fedora 9
The driver is at: http://web.comhem.se/rydberg/Bits/. Follow the directions to compile, and install.
Now, the 'options usbhid quirks' did not work on Fedora 9, at least not for me. There was some discussion about the fact that usbhid not being compiled as module in Fedora... So, the work around is:
On your /etc/rc.local add:
echo -n "7-2:1.2" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind
modprobe bcm5974
7-2:1.2 is the device id of your trackpad, and this will unbind usbhid from taking over it so the device allowing bcm5974 to work.
PS - This relates to my instructions on how to get Fedora 9 running on a Macbook Pro (4,1).

Thanks BoA
I have no idea if Bank of America read my blog or something, but the online banking now works on Linux x86_64 browsers. :-)
